Study Shows Korn Fans Get the Best Value for Their Tickets

These days, going to a concert is like setting fire to your wallet. Everything is overpriced, and ticket prices are no exception. But who’s ready to fork over an arm and a leg just to stand in a crowd? JeffBet, that website with a name that sounds like a scam but is somehow totally legit, just dropped a study that’ll make you rethink how much you’re getting ripped off at shows.

They crunched the numbers on which bands charge the most per minute of their set, and honestly, it’s enough to make anyone furious—unless you’re talking about Korn. Yeah, Korn actually makes sense. Unlike most of the other overpriced acts, these guys give you a solid deal.

Based on the study, Korn offers the best metal deal around. Their shows usually run about an hour and a half, and with an average ticket price of $73, you’re looking at 39 cents per minute. Ok, I’m no math whiz, but that sounds like a steal compared to some of the other nonsense.

The data was pulled from Setlist.fm and Pollstar, covering concerts between 2019 and 2023. For context, other artists are bleeding fans dry with full dollar amounts per minute. Take the Rolling Stones, for example. They play for two hours (because, of course, they do), but they’re charging you 78 cents per minute for the privilege. Blink-182 fans are dishing out about 53 cents per minute, but nothing compares to U2.

Oh! Remember U2? These guys have tickets averaging $172. Their shows are anywhere between one and two hours long, so you’re paying $1.12 per minute to watch Bono prance around. Seriously, who the hell is dropping that kind of cash?

Then there’s Taylor Swift. Swifties, as usual, manage to ruin everything, but here’s the twist: Swift’s shows last as long as a work shift, so technically, you’re getting more minutes for your money. That doesn’t mean it’s worth it, but hey, at least you’re not being hustled minute by minute.

In the end, none of this really changes anything. We’ll all keep paying absurd prices because that’s just the world we live in now. But at least Korn is looking out for us—sort of.
